On the Jayne-Rogers theorem

Abstract

In 1982, J.E. Jayne and C.A. Rogers proved that a mapping $f \colon X \rightarrow Y$ of an absolute Souslin-F set X to a metric space Y is $\Delta^0_2$-measurable if and only if it is piecewise continuous. We now give a similar result for a perfectly paracompact first-countable space X and a regular space Y.
